Locked or well protected (6)

I believe the answer is:

secure

(Other definitions for secure that I've seen before include "Rescue (anag) - make safe" , "Safe against attack or well fastened" , "Obtain - safe" , "Safe against attack or intrusion" , "in the bag" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
